Great Experience at the Reef
Visiting the Reef Magic pontoon at Moore Reef is an unforgettable Great Barrier Reef experience. The world-class pontoon facilities offer spacious sun decks, easy water access, and underwater observatories. Guests are treated to an excellent buffet lunch with fresh options, all supported by exceptionally attentive, great service from the Reef Magic team.
Unforgettable Reef Magic Experience!
I booked the Reef Magic tour in Cairns through Experience Oz, and it was an incredible experience from start to finish. The entire crew went above and beyond to ensure everyone was comfortable and well taken care of. The pontoon setup was top-notch, and everything needed for snorkeling was fully provided. The semi-submersible submarine tour was easily one of the best experiences I’ve ever had. Also, a special shoutout to the glass-bottom boat tour leader—he was exceptionally kind, friendly, and outgoing, making sure to connect with everyone and keep all the guests happy. Thank you to Experience Oz for the seamless booking and to the Reef Magic team for such a memorable day. Highly recommended!

Great reef experience
Loved the crew and the reef . I was sceptic as my previous pontoon experience was average but this was the best snorkeling spot .
